Earth Science Information Partner (ESIP) Federation
• Networking consortium of 120 organizations that provide or add value to Earth system science data/information
• Initially formed by NASA, but now independent entity
• Membership open to any organization, after application and approval processes
• Almost entirely US-based
![Page 3: ESIP Federation Activities Rob Raskin NASA/ Jet Propulsion Laboratory Pasadena, CA](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070410/56649f225503460f94c3b18d/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
ESIP Membership Types
• Type 1– Raw data providers– Archive centers, mostly NASA and NOAA
• Type 2– Science/research data product providers
• Type 3– Commercial entities– Educational organizations– Planning agencies and decision makers– Service providers
Plus strategic funders, such as EPA, NASA, NOAA

Data Value Chain• Raw data (Type 1)
– Primarily remote sensing observations• Science data products (Type 2)
– Fully validated– Quality controlled– Vetted
• Applications (Type 3)
– Decision-making– Policy– Regulation– Commercial uses– Education– Expert testimony
Ready-to-use

Why Organizations Participate
• Broaden involvement• Use Cases• Community Standards• Share technology developments• Leverage what other Agencies/Organizations have
experienced– Lessons learned
• Testbeds

Networking Mechanisms
• Semi-annual meetings• Committees (top-down origin; permanent status)
– Information Technology & Interoperability– Products and Services– Education
• Clusters and working groups (bottom-up origin; may be transient)
– Thematic• Air quality• Water• Disaster• Climate
– Methodological• Environmental decision making• Semantic web• Preservation and stewardship

Environmental Decision-Making Cluster
• Objectives– Metrics
• What constitutes a good decision
– Better understanding of data requirements for decision models
– Greater appreciation for the value of data in decision-making
– Better tool interoperability• Most decision support systems are stove-piped
![Page 8: ESIP Federation Activities Rob Raskin NASA/ Jet Propulsion Laboratory Pasadena, CA](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070410/56649f225503460f94c3b18d/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Information Technology and Interoperability Committee
• Objectives– Encourage the use of best information technology
practices– Ensure that data, information and services can be
readily exchanged and integrated– Encourage the use of standards and protocols
relevant to interoperability
• Activities– Convene technical workshops at Federation meetings
![Page 9: ESIP Federation Activities Rob Raskin NASA/ Jet Propulsion Laboratory Pasadena, CA](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070410/56649f225503460f94c3b18d/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Air Quality Working Group
• Workshop on implementation of interoperability standards
• GEO AQ Community of Practice

Water Cluster
• Data integration and display tools
• Semantic architecture
• Ontology management
• Use cases
![Page 11: ESIP Federation Activities Rob Raskin NASA/ Jet Propulsion Laboratory Pasadena, CA](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070410/56649f225503460f94c3b18d/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Semantic Web Cluster
• Common ontologies for:– Datatypes
– Data services
– Science/Application context
• Improve awareness of semantic interoperability– Tutorials
– Use cases
• Community standards for ontology content

SWEET Ontology
• Semantic Web for Earth and Environmental Terminology (SWEET)– Purpose: to improve discovery and use of Earth-referenced data
• Upper-level ontology set for Earth system science• 4000 concepts spanning Earth system science, applications,
and data– Organized into 140 modular ontologies– Scalable to readily accommodate growth– Written in OWL-DL– Easily extended for specialized domains
• Long-term maintenance to be provided by the ESIP Semantic Web Cluster
